Nonverbal Intelligence Seminar

THE POWER OF PRESENCE:

Nonverbal Intelligence at Trial

Nothing resonates more powerfully than showing up fully in the courtroom. Jurors look for leaders to guide them through trial and are drawn to those who communicate confidently and authentically. You know your stuff. You believe in your case. Are you ready to take it to the next level by accessing your true self and unlocking the power of presence?

Do you wish you could:

Be more confident in the courtroom?

Be your real self during trial instead of worrying about all the do's and don'ts?

Not feel awkward and nervous?

Present yourself credibly, so that people sit up and listen when you speak?

Get jurors talking easily and freely during voir dire?

Know that you are making a difference?

To be successful in the courtroom, you MUST show up. Nothing communicates confidence, sincerity and credibility like authenticity. The BEST attorneys in the field are comfortable in their own skin. In this two-day seminar, learn how to take your communication to the next level. Discover the Power of Presence: Communicate YOU.

About your presenter:

Sari de la Motte has been called "the attorney whisperer." A sought-after keynote speaker and seminar leader, she has assisted legal teams in high profile cases throughout the United States, working one-on-one with attorneys to hone their messages and communicate with jurors, judges and opposing counsel. She's a featured columnist for Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyer's Magazine, Oregon Defense Attorney, and has provided CLEs for the Oregon State Bar and Lewis and Clark Law School and various state association of justices around the country.

She has been interviewed on TV, radio and in print, including The Atlantic, Huffington Post, The Oregonian, Willamette Week and others. Due to her busy trial schedule she offers seminars that are open to the public only once or twice a year, so don't miss this opportunity to see Sari live!

What attorneys are saying about Sari:

"Law school teaches lawyers to think, but not communicate. Sari teaches you to communicate. She is fantastic at helping you simplify and deliver your message in a manner that is authentic, understandable and comfortable for both you and your audience."

"Sari de la Motte taught me to re-think my prior concepts about body language. At one point during an opening statement, I stood before the jury in a different place from where I had been, and it felt very awkward. I wanted to yell out “Dadgum it, Sari! Just exactly WHAT should I be doing right now??”

Sari showed me that what we think we see in someone’s face or the way they hold their body is not always right. In fact, sometimes we are totally wrong. It is easier now for me to accept what appears to be negative body language in a juror. Crossed arms do not always mean the juror is not accepting what you are saying. A furrowed brow may not mean what I think either. Sari teaches with energy and enthusiasm, and she is such a pleasure to work with."

"After 25 years of picking juries and trying cases, I hired Sari to take my work to a new and better level. Working with her proved to be both daunting and enlightening. She is insightful and blunt and I reaped great rewards working with her."

Organizer

FORTE

Don’t get us started on “body language experts.” We’ve heard all the body language bunk that’s out there, just like you. There simply is no “secret code” that tells you what the people around you might be thinking and feeling. Here at FORTE we’re interested in real communication, in real time, with real people.

No one lives in a vacuum. No matter what you want to accomplish, it requires interacting with people, and that requires communication. In other words, excelling at communication means excelling at life.

You communicate nonverbally all the time. Might as well get freakin’ awesome at it.

That’s what we’re here for.

At FORTE, we’re a bit intense when it comes to nonverbal communication. Our aim is to inspire transformation and rouse courage in our clients, so that you can move from good to GREAT.
